on a French autoroute on the way to La Rochelle i saw an indicated 167 after leaving Lee maxing the SV out at around 140

have to say tho that after a few hours testing top speed it gets boring - cornering is waaaaay more fun and wears your tyres evenly! (unless you spend all the time you ride going round roundabouts!!!)

i'm sure it's already been said, but any numpty can point a bike in a straight line and twist the throttle to the stop, but it takes real skill to make fast progress on a twisty road (ie- corner quickly!)...

An indicated 143mph out of my 1999 svs (yellow of course) solo and flat on the tank. 120mph 2 up fully loaded with luggage and me sat upright (cos the mrs didn't like the wind blast ) in Belgium.

I've also got a BMW735 that's capable of 140 but have only had 110 and that felt scary.

Strange, feels more stable on the bike.

i did a 113mph in my mums D reg golf 1.6 cl

It was great fun until the distributer threw a cog and i broke down mile away from home and had to get towed back by the very kind people from the RAC.

my top speed on a bike was 90mph on a G reg Honda CB350s. It was no where the red line but it wouldnt go any faster.

135 indicated on the SV

160 indicated on the back of a GSXR750

165 in the passenger seat of a Skyline.

Speeds are clearly all in kilometres per hour, and were done in a dream.

indictated 235 km/hr on the SV.... back roads of Oz.... fantastic

ok converting that to miles = 146.8 mph. Now I was doing an indicated ton when Mr Plod pulled me and told me I was doing 95... allowing for 5% overreading = 139.5 mph

and on the CBR, indicated 155mph... probably 145mph realistically

Wow, I think this qualifies as a resurrection from the very dead.

As said previously in this thread there are obviously some SV speedos that are reading seriously proud.
